(Sudoku electronic game)   
(Fun sudoku but not perfect)  
(Addicted to Sodoku)    If I could do it over, I would pass on this product. Between cost then shipping, not worth it at all. The item is almost as small as the picture and it's difficult to see and play... Can't win 'em all! :) Great toy for the mind and challenging, but not too hard to understand how to play. The only drawback is the screen is hard to see in low lighting. At the beginners level, the numbers blink to indicate that your choice of number is incorrect. My 10 yr. old daughter loves playing! I have 4 of these. One I had to take back because a square on the touch screen went dead. I don't have the backlit version, which makes viewing a little annoying but it is usuable.
My biggest complaint is the way that it gets "1 million puzzles." It has a fixed number of puzzles, probably much less than a million, and it has a limited number of ways of choosing the "givens" that aren't specific to individual puzzles. Multiply these together and you get a million puzzles. The problem with this system is that not all puzzles are solvable using deduction. Sometimes you have to guess. You also get puzzles that have more than one solution. This means it is not a true sudoku game.
It is still fun and addictive to play. $3 at Toys'R'us clearance makes it a bargain. My wife has one of these and now I need to get my own. We call it the "crack" game since I play it so much. Great way to unwind and waste some time even if you're only a moderate number cruncher. Get one with a backlit screen Bring the craze of the popular addictive newspaper crossword puzzle right into your own hand with this electronic Sudoku puzzle game that uses touch screen technology. The rules are very simple, you just fill in the grid so that every row, column and 3 x 3 box contains the digits from 1 to 9. Rerations < Electronic Hand Held Touch Screen Sudoku Game >

(I like it, love it, and want more of it!!!)    
(I'm an addict!)     I am a longtime Sudoku fan, despite my deeply held belief that I am not pronouncing it correctly. I have to admit that, although the puzzles are fun and challenging, they do tend to get somewhat repetitive for me. Maybe I haven't studied enough of the advanced techniques or perhaps I'm simply unable to appreciate the subtleties that present themselves in the various puzzles.
At any rate, stumbling across this Tri-doku book in a local B&N was a pleasant surprise. I thumbed through the book and was curious enough about how the puzzles worked to buy a copy. Once I brought the book home I sat at the kitchen table trying to familiarize myself with all the rules, of which there are a fair amount. Once I was immersed enough in the instructions I dove into my first puzzle with a #2 pencil (more on that later). After many mistakes and frustrations I finally got the hang of it and I am now officially hooked.
The puzzles offer (to me anyways) so many more twists and "a-ha moments" than traditional Sudoku and are much more addictive. Of course your mileage may vary. Given that there are about 10,000x more Sudoku titles than Tri-doku (I think this book is the sole one, in fact) maybe it appeals to a much smaller type of puzzle solver.
At any rate, if you are looking for a unique twist on this phenomenon you should go over to the author's site (http://www.tridoku.com) to read the rules and give some of the puzzles a test spin. If you are at all like me you'll probably be purchasing the book soon after.
Now. The pencil thing. I found that, unlike most other puzzles you might work on, a pencil -- for this book anyway -- is a poor choice. This is more of a statement about the type of paper the puzzles are printed on than the puzzles themselves. I found that a black ball-point pen worked best and -- if you're careful -- was adequate even with the occasional goof. Using a pencil results in dull, very light numbers that don't erase off the page very well. I suppose I could take a star off my rating for this but the puzzles are just too damn cool. Wow, I've done about 20 puzzles so far and enjoy the new challenge. I will be done with this book quickly because I can't put it down. I hope the author plans to make more because I'll have withdraw symptoms. If you like Sudoku, you'll love this one too!!! These puzzles are great! If you enjoy Sudoku but are bored with the same old thing, these puzzles use the same kind of logic but with a new twist. Beware: they will keep you up at night! I can't wait for more books by this author!
It’s the new shape of sudoku—and it’s no square! These fun and extra-challenging puzzles come in triangles, all color-coded to indicate special spaces where numbers can’t repeat and where new rules of play come into action. Each large triangle includes nine smaller ones (just as the square grids feature interior boxes); as usual, you must place numbers one to nine in each triangle. But then solvers face some unique (and exciting!) requirements for filling in the edges, for completing the“three legs” of the inner shaded triangle, and for handling the hexagon shapes. Fans of traditional sudoku will find it irresistible! Rerations < Tri-doku (Sudoku) >

(Not what I expected) 
(A Strain on Older Eyes)   
(Very Challenging&Exciting)    
(Well Done)     The overlapping puzzles are difficult and the logic is fun to figure. I have not finished the puzzles in this book but they are fun. This was not what I was expecting. There are no squares pre-filled. Certain areas are outlined and you are told what the sum of the numbers in the square must be. So, if the total is 20 and there are 4 boxes circled, they could be 9,8,2,1 or 8,7,3,2 or 7,6,4,3, etc. (repeats only if not in same row/column). And the order can change around. Even a total of 5 with 2 boxes could be 2,3 or 3,2 or 1,5 or 5,1. UGH! Who wants to keep adding and re-adding numbers and writing and erasing?
This is not what *I* would call "samurai sudoku." Maybe "addition sudoku" or "math sudoku" or "buy lots of erasers sudoku.
I suppose if you like this kind of puzzle, you'd rate it a 5. I'm a killer sudoku addict and like the Samurai format as well, but the type and squares are a bit small on these. Otherwise fine. If you like Killer Sudoku and you think regular 9x9 became too easy for you, then I would recommend to shift to Killer Samurai Sudoku. It will take you longer to solve just one puzzle because of the the intersections of 5 killer sudoku's.
You will have alot of fun and time will just fly by! Once you're accustomed to Sudoku, you can move onto Killer Sudoku. Once you're accustomed to Killer Sudoku, this appears to be the next step.
I've only worked through about 5 of'em so far, and they appear to be the most challenging and interesting variation of Sudoku. These puzzles appear to be designed where you have to make full use of the Samaurai set up to finish them.
As far as the design and set up of the book, I like it a lot. The dimensions are about the size of a sheet of looseleaf paper, and the answers to the puzzle you're solving are just a couple pages away, printed underneath a puzzle a few pages ahead.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone experieced with Sudoku and Killer Sudoku. Good job DJAPE.

Usually ships in 24 hours customer 's review (Not the best read, but interesting to say the least)  
(Great Characters. . .Terrible Plot) 
(Death By The Numbers)  
(A fun little book)   
(A good puzzling mystery)    I liked the characters, but certain parts of the book were boring. Didn't keep me captivated. But I liked the main character, Liza, and the kind of love triangle. Which I think will be represented more in the next book. I will read the next book to see if I like her series though. Liza is a great character, fully developed and well fleshed-out, but characterization is not a problem in Death By Sudoku. The problem is the plot. The story didn't maintain its momentum to the end of the book, and the way she solved the mystery left me saying "What? That makes no sense."
Death By Sudoku was a big disappointment, and I'm sad to say I won't be reading any more. I just didn't care about the characters or the plot enough by the end of the book to stay interested. It was very contrived and convenient. For a themed mystery, Ms. Morgan got many things right. Characterization was probably better than most, and sense of place was also interesting, taking the reader between the Oregon coast and Southern California. I must agree with the other reviews -- the plot line was thin and highly unlikely. The Bible references were a bit much, and tying that into a Sudoku puzzle was more stretch than story. And for this Sudoku addict, the tips were a little on the strange side, oddly complicated. All in all a cute little 200 page cozy. This is a light and peppy mystery with a lot of very well presented information about sudoku, including some puzzles to solve if you choose to. I took it along on a weekend camping trip, and it was great company. As a serious sudoku addict who loves hard-but-solvable puzzles, I was afraid the sudoku theme would be too simplistic, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story line may be a bit unrealistic, but it is so well presented and written that I was willing to suspend disbelief. I love Sudoku! I first took it up while waiting endless hours in airports across the United States and around the world. It kept me busy, entertained me and took my mind off post 9/11 travel in the world. It has become a favorite past time. So it was with a grin that I picked up Death by Sudoku by Kaye Morgan and hoped, really hoped, I was in for a fun ride. I wasn't disappointed.
Liza Kelly left the bright lights of Hollywood and her husband for her hometown, Maiden's Bay. It's a lot different than the big city of Los Angeles. Located on the Oregon Coast, it's scenic, which is great because she's not working in PR and she's `home.'
Since Liza is a Sudoku puzzle master, she takes a job with the Oregon Daily, as a Sudoku expert. Look out, Will Shortz (the real-life Sudoku expert, known to Sudoku players everywhere), your job and those numerous books might be in jeopardy.
Liza enters a Sudoku tournament (I didn't realize they existed) and runs into an old friend, Derrick Robbins. He used to be a `biggy' in television but he's veered off the path into puzzles and conspiracy theories. When Derrick turns up dead after the tournament, it's up to Liza to find the killer. Is Sudoku itself involved in the murder? Liza better find out before there are other deaths.
Death by Sudoku is unique, fun and a fast read. I love the concept (because I love the puzzles) and look forward to Kaye Morgan's next Sudoku mystery.
Armchair Interviews says: Read Death by Sudoku. If you haven't taken up the game, you might. Maiden's Bay is a small, scenic town on the Oregon Coast where citizens get their number fix thanks to Liza Kelly-Sudoku Maven with the Oregon Daily. Her challenging puzzles sharpen the mind, and her deductive skills unravel even the most enigmatic clues.
Liza enters a Sudoku tournament in which her old friend and competitor turns up dead. Now, she must think outside the boxes to find a murderer. Rerations < Death by Sudoku (A Sudoku Mystery) >
